Scam Description
I was contacted by text message offering a wfh job with instructions to download the element app for interviewing purposes thru chat. The interview lasted 2.5 hours. Then the next morning i was told i have the job but to proceed i needed to open a bank account at Wells Fargo. I then told the hiring mngr (Taylor Pennington) i put to receive pay check by mail. He then advised i can’t proceed unless i open this bank account. I knew then it was a scam. Then i learned here on the BBB site that others were contacted by the same person using the same name but for a different company.
